Objective: This study investigated the modulation of &lt;em&gt;Moringa oleifera&lt;/em&gt; fruit extract on BCL-2 family protein expression in obesity rat models. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into five groups: normal control (N), obesse control (O), obese + &lt;em&gt;M. oleifera&lt;/em&gt; fruit extract (500 mg/kg BW, once (OEMO1) or twice daily (OEMO2)), and obese rats + Vitamin C (OC). After 30 days, liver tissues were collected. BCL-2 family proteins (BCL- 2, BAK1, and BAD) were analyzed using ELISA. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Obese rats (O) showed dysregulation of BCL-2 family protein expression, characterized by decreased pro-apoptotic and increased anti-apoptotic markers. Administration of &lt;em&gt;M. oleifera&lt;/em&gt; fruit extract significantly restored BCL-2 family protein expression by increased anti-apoptotic (BCL-2) and decreased pro-apoptotic (BAK1 and BAD) signaling expression of BCL-2 family protein (OEMO2) compared to obese controls (O) p&amp;lt;0,001. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Moringa oleifera&lt;/em&gt; fruit extract modulates apoptosis-related proteins by restoring BCL-2 family balance in obesity rat livers, suggesting its potential as a pharmacognostic candidate for obesity-related hepatic dysfunction prevention in obesity rat models.&lt;/p&gt;

Methods: Bioactive compounds from &lt;em&gt;M. oleifera&lt;/em&gt; fruit were screened via molecular docking against the human p53 protein, with Nutlin-3 used as a positive control. Binding affinities, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions were analyzed to determine ligand– receptor interactions. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Niacin and oxalic acid exhibited stronger binding affinities (–5.90 and –6.00 kcal/mol, respectively) compared to Nutlin-3 (–5.64 kcal/mol). Niacin formed stable hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions with key residues within the p53 active site, suggesting a capacity to modulate p53 activity. Oxalic acid demonstrated the highest binding affinity but lacked hydrogen bonding, indicating potential instability despite strong interaction. These findings support previous studies highlighting &lt;em&gt;M. oleifera's &lt;/em&gt;role in ROS suppression and p53 modulation, pointing to its therapeutic relevance in mitigating cellular aging. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Niacin and oxalic acid from &lt;em&gt;M. oleifera&lt;/em&gt; exhibit promising binding characteristics as modulators of the p53 pathway. Their anti-senescence potential warrants further validation through molecular dynamics simulations and biological assays. This study supports the development of natural compound-based therapeutics for age-related cardiac degeneration.&lt;/p&gt;

Fat mass and obesityassociated (FTO) protein is one of the proteins that involved in pathophysiology of SO. &lt;em&gt;Moringa oleifera&lt;/em&gt; is one of potential drug candidates for degenerative diseases due to its various bioactive metabolites from most parts of this plant. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; An&lt;em&gt; in silico&lt;/em&gt; study, employing computational methods to simulate molecular interactions through molecular docking, aims to investigate the potential of &lt;em&gt;Moringa oleifera&lt;/em&gt; fruit secondary metabolites to interact with FTO protein. &lt;strong&gt;Methodology:&lt;/strong&gt; This study was carried out the molecular docking analysis of &lt;em&gt;Moringa oleifera&lt;/em&gt; fruit secondary metabolites that was retrieved from database and have been screened for drug-likeness and toxicity for FTO protein inhibitor candidates. Molecular docking was using Pyrx v0.8, AutoDock 4.2.6 by AutoDockTools 1.5.7, and BIOVIA Discovery studio client 2025 as visualization tools. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; This study showed 9 bioactive compounds from &lt;em&gt;Moringa oleifera&lt;/em&gt; fruit is bioavailable and safe for oral drugs according to Lipinski Rule of 5 (RO5) and Oral Rat Acute Toxicity (LD50). Molecular docking results showed riboflavin is the most potential compound as FTO protein inhibitor as its strongest affinity and interaction in active site compared to FTO protein native ligands 3-methylthymidine (DT). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Therefore, &lt;em&gt;Moringa oleifera &lt;/em&gt;fruit is potential for SO therapy candidates through regulation of FTO protein activity.&lt;/p&gt;
